Artifact Description
In my Curriculum and Instruction 403 Course: Teaching Diverse High School Students, we host an annual community math event called GeoJam, started by Professor Rochelle Gutierrez in 2006. Geojam introduces a variety of mathematical games, stations, and puzzles for students at the middle school and high school level. Students get to see mathematics outside of the classroom, and get to play with mathematics in a non-academic setting. There is a competitive format in which students sign up and play in teams, and a non-competitive format called "solo-jam" stations that comprises of individual puzzles and activities that are math-based. As seniors in the program, we worked in groups to brainstorm and create the games that students will play at the event. As each of our groups created a game station for the competitive format, my group created a game called "Zombie Apocalypse." We created a station packet for the game, that comprises of a script, list of materials, rules, and a "did you know sheet" of the mathematics behind the game, for anyone who would like to recreate the game.

Artifact Description
During student teaching at Rantoul Township High School, I attended weekly Professional Learning Community meetings. This artifact is a copy of handouts and notes from the PLC meeting. During these meetings, I met with all the teachers in the mathematics department as they discussed and planned lessons for next year with the incorporation of the common core standards. Further more I collaborated with the Algebra I teachers to plan upcoming chapter tests and units.
